Come explore at Featherstone! During the summer months, in addition to Summer Art Camp, we offer Afternoon Art classes. Each week day features a different medium - these two hour afternoon classes are a fun option to explore printmaking, crafts, jewelry, collage and ceramics for children ages 7 and older (9 for jewelry).
